i need to be the one
that stands strong
and helps everyone else
i need to help people
so they dont feel bad
so they can be happy
so they can live a good life
because if i dont do it
i know no one would for some people
so i have to
otherwise they'll never get it
so i have to be strong
and not cry
and just be the pillar of happiness
and strength
that people know they can trust
and rely on
that has no cracks in it
so they can lean on it
and not worry about falling

A twirl of blue satin tugged between your fingers
Twining hard trying to keep it intact
Crossing over, squeezing under and pulling out
Learning to make your first knot
Finding bliss in a tangled ribbon
